@Ciufalon, the stuff you've linked to is Armaflex, which are you correctly stated is foam tubing with a plastic(ish) outer shell. I've used this stuff before for insulating air-con pipes and although it might have a better "feel" than normal foam tubing, it won't last long with use.

The stuff in @pepox369's picture (on the aerobars), feels like rubber with it's surface coated/treated to be smooth without pores. One usually finds this material on higher end treadmills and elliptical machine handles and is made to withstand abuse and sweat. The feel of the stuff is incredible since it has very little sponginess; just enough to absorb bad road surfaces and is totally anti-slip, even when your palms are soaking wet in sweat.

It's an incredible material, and I've seen it in other uses, but can't remember where. €80 ($105) is a lot of money, but it might just be worth it, even compared to having the bars wrapped in leather!


I think this may be the stuff: http://www.exercise-equipment-parts.com/hand-grips.html

Will contact the company and see if they ship to Greece; the cost is very reasonable, even compared to trekking foam grips I bought with the bars.
